I really dislike this player, but with all that, I have seen his level of play, if he plays like he did against Zeballos then Djokovic can pack early.When you say, it's all about match-ups and djoker has owned him all the time, and he did blow him out in Rome this year. Im saying it dont really matterIn the Rome match Thiem was done after he finally beat Nadal, he proved everyone that he is ready, he had no interest ingoing against Djoker, he decided to save himself for FO.and all those other matches were in time when Djoker was the real deal with all his great coaches around him.So all that historic loosing has so little value to me. Thiem aint no mental fragile hot-head who cant hold himself against certain players. He is cool as it he gets.Now we have different times and Im pretty sure there will be 1/4 - Nadal vs Thiem. Book it. and obviously Nadal will win it.That is one other reason I would suggest betting on Djoker as he might not be interested in getting ashamed by Nadal in next round.
